Changing X_APP_VERSION to
X_APP_VERSION = "1.22.0"
just gives a different error of:

Same here, starting today I am getting only mentioned error. :-(

[chamsters]

Same issue here. Trying anything over 1.22.0 also gives the "New version app has been published" error.

Seems related - sockless-coding/panasonic_cc#331

Oh, they appear to have added another annoying feature which went live about 30 minutes ago. They now email me every time I login ie run the python script, or attempt to login with a message along the lines of "You have logged in to your Panasonic ID". Depending on how you use it, this could be multiple times per hour.

I've logged in at https://accountglb.digital.panasonic.com/ (the URL in the email) and I can't see how to disable this email notification at their end. I have created a rule on my mail server to discard them when they arrive. Eventually, presumably, they will notice the thousands and thousands of emails from us all.

A login procedure shouldn't be necessary when using offline access with OAuth2, so, every time we actually use the username/password they will send an email? If we can actually always use the refresh token correctly we shouldn't receive an email, right?

If both cases sends an email this is an active way to get rid of third-parties.

Anyway, since they are blocking requets now, they have changed something again to detect third-party requests.

I also get emails when I login via their website

[xkram15]

Hello,
out of curiosity - where and how do you "login via their website"?
I have three units "Panasonic Etherea" AC and so far I was aware only remote control by their "Panasonic Comfort Cloud App" from a mobile. I tried to Google but still cannot find what are you referring. From where I can control my units from a website?

Thanks

[majurgens]

The "login via website" is only to manage the identity. Link is a few posts earlier

[chamsters]

Looks like there's a solution over at https://github.com/sockless-coding/panasonic_cc/releases/tag/2024.11.0, how can we incorporate into this project?

[Olifant1990]

Solved with sockless-coding/panasonic_cc#336.
I can confirm it is working again!

[mchacher]

good news. @Olifant1990 can you propose a pull request with the fix?

[Olifant1990]

@mchacher no sorry, not using this specific github, but confirmed the linked fix is working. So it shouldn't be difficult for you too ;)

If I use the code from this new PR I am getting the following error:

Exactly the same - with a change from @mortenf I am getting :

"x-cfc-api-key": self._get_api_key(timestamp, self._token["access_token"]),
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

[mortenf]

I'm sorry, that should now be fixed in the PR. The error shows up when no token is saved/reused, which is why I didn't notice it.

Fixed by #104
